Ian Hickman in the Fairfax Times
The Fairfax Times has an article about Ian Hickman and his quest for a strawberry title.
Hickman said he first became interested in becoming a competitive eater after watching actor John Candy eat a huge steak in the movie “The Great Outdoors,” and later consumed his own 64-ounce porterhouse in a Lexington, Ky., steakhouse that offered the meal free to anyone who could finish it in less than 45 minutes. Hickman ate the steak – along with a side and a salad – in only 19 minutes.
“That’s when I knew I might have talent as a competitive eater,” he said.

Pros vs. Joes pizza results
The Washington Post Sports “Bog” has results from Sunday’s “Pros vs. Joes” pizza eating contest for charity:
Kedric Golston and his team of “Pros” won the celebrity pizza eating contest Sunday at Don Corleone’s. By one slice. Professional eater Ian “The Invader” Hickman carried the team of pros, downing 32 slices, according to enthusiastic Don Corleone’s owner Waleed R. Zarou.
But Golston held his own, putting away 14 slices of pizza in 10 minutes (remember, they were double-cut, so that means he ate about 87 percent of one pie).
A commenter thinks Hickman’s result must be an IFOCE record.
“Pros vs. Joes” pizza contest in WashingtonPost.com
The Washington Post’s Sports “Bog” has an entry about Sunday’s “Pros vs. Joes” pizza contest that is mainly about Redskin Kedric Golston. Some of the best eaters on the Redskins are mentioned:
Guard Randy Thomas has entered eating contests before; Golston labeled him “a legend” and said “I need to call him and figure out how to warm my stomach up.” Former D-linemen Renaldo Wynn and Joe Salave’a were “definitely in the top five” of Redskins eaters, but they’ve both been released. (Demetric Evans, though, is not an eating star; “he’s too pretty,” Golston said.)
